i. Project Objectives The applicant wishes to demolish the existing dwelling on the subject property and replace it with a new single-family residence and associated improvements to meet the applicant's needs. The new dwelling will be constructed to current Building Code standards and be in alignment with all County Zoning regulations. Additionally, a new advanced aerobic wastewater treatment unit will be installed to improve wastewater treatment on site. All material that can be recycled will be identified, separated, and transported to an appropriate recycling center to minimize debris contributed to the local landfill. ii. Project Components The project involves the demolition of an existing aged single-family dwelling on the subject property and the construction of a new single-family residence. Figures 5-9 show the site plan of the existing residence, the proposed site plan, floor plans, and elevations. The proposed residence is a single-story, 2,400-square-foot single-family home featuring two (2)bedrooms, two (2) full bathrooms, one (1)half bath, an office, kitchen, living room, and a laundry room. Additional features include two (2) outdoor showers, measuring 70 and 28 square feet respectively, and a 182-square-foot lanai. The project also includes a two-story detached garage with a bedroom on the second floor. The lower level of the garage would cover an area of 726 square feet, accommodating two (2) cars, while the upper level would be 628 square feet, encompassing one (1)bedroom, one (1) full bathroom, a sitting room, and a 222- square-foot lanai. The single-family residence would therefore contain a total of three (3) bedrooms, three (3) full bathrooms and one (1) half bath. A new advanced aerobic wastewater treatment unit(ATU) will be installed on the property following permitting requirements of the Department of Health. Access to the property will be from Puako Beach Drive, a County owned and maintained roadway via a proposed concrete driveway on the northeast corner of the site. Regarding the shoreline/coastal public access, there is an established public shoreline access point approximately 130 feet to the southwest. This access will remain unaffected by this project. As the subject property has already contained a single- family dwelling for several decades, the site is already served by all required utilities. Additionally, the project would provide economic opportunities by creating short- term construction work associated with building the new dwelling and related infrastructure. 9
